Riverside Park: The Guadeloupe River winds its way through over 500 acres of park and the neighboring golf course so there is lots of space to stroll and bird.  The rose garden is beautiful and amazingly fragrant even this late in the year.  The city runs a little RV park that is laid out between a tree lined canal and an open field that the deer just love.  It is quiet and clean and just $12/night for full hookup.

We checked out a bit of local flavor

Halepaska’s   Bakery: we stopped there twice!

Farmers market: I went for fruit and veggies but came home with homemade cinnamon raisin bread and local blackberry jelly.

The Victoria County Courthouse; built in 1892 it harkens from a time when courthouses made a real statement! It is magnificent.
